Personal Reflection

​

In the spring of 1989, my father, Thomas Martin, graduated from Penn State with a degree in Architectural Engineering. For as long as I can remember, we have shared the same interests, mathematical mindset, and intrigue to further our knowledge. For those reasons alone, I had always wanted to graduate from the same program with the same degree. In November of 2012, that goal was slowly becoming a reality as I received my acceptance into the Architectural Engineering Program at The Pennsylvania State University. That was the easiest part of the journey - making my decision to enter the Architectural Engineering program. The following five years would test my abilities in professional, social, and academic areas. Despite some hardships early on, it was always easy to remain on the right track and not waiver off as I stand here today successful at reaching my goal. 

​

I would like to thank the entire faculty at Penn State for making this entire process possible and helping us along the way. I would like to thank my parents for their support over the last 17+ years of my education career. And I would like to thank my classmates for making this such a memorable experience for myself.

CPEP Assessment

​

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) site was an effective tool in providing the students the ability to display our work. It allowed for us to show the progress made from selecting a project, to proposing and recommending alternatives the project. This site also helps in providing a way to effectively show the work of all students and helps in the sustainability effort of eliminating the amount of paper used.  Overall, it was a beneficial instrument in completing senior thesis.
